Dental contouring is one of the many cosmetic dental techniques that can help give you a beautiful smile. Contouring is regularly combined with cosmetic bonding and other procedures to give dental tourist the smile they are looking for. Dental contouring and reshaping can be completed in a single visit to the dentist.
What is Dental Contouring?
Dental contouring and reshaping is a procedure where the dentist then sculpts your tooth to a desired shape.
You might need a dental contouring if:
- You have chipped or cracked teeth and you want to improve their appearance
- Your teeth are irregularly shaped
- If you teeth are slightly overlapping
- You bite is slightly out of alignment
Things to be aware of:
- This is a permanent procedure; whatever is removed cannot be restored naturally
- You teeth can become weaker if large amount of the tooth surface are removed
What is the procedure like?
Your dentist will take x-rays of the teeth that you want to reshape. This tells them the position of the inner parts of the tooth and helps determine how much of the tooth surface can be safely removed. The teeth are then marked up with a pen. The surface area to be removed is slowly stripped away using a drill or laser. The teeth are then shaped further using a rough paper and finally smoothed and polished. All of this can normally be done without the need for an anaesthetic.
What affects the price?
- The dentist chosen
- The number of teeth that you want contoured
- The extent of the contouring

Save yourself up to 70% on dentistry in Tijuana
Tijuana lies on the border with California, a stones throw from San Diego. The city, once seen as a playground for Hollywood stars and Las Vegas mobsters, is now a modern urban center of 1.5 million, with a large manufacturing base supplying the North American market with cars, electronics and pharmaceuticals. Low property prices and its proximity to the border make it a popular retirement location and increasingly a commuter zone for Americans seeking lower costs of living.
Tijuana acts as a draw for skilled dental workers, with clinics competing on quality as well as price with those just across the border. Dentists in Tijuana have easy access to training programs in California, with several regional initiatives encouraging training north of the border.
To the south of Tijuana is the Baja peninsula with hundreds of miles of beautiful coastline, much of it totally unspoilt, fishing villages and resorts dot the sea-shore and some are home to dental practices that offer a more vacation like alternative to those in the border cities. Access is easy - the border sees over 200,000 crossings each day. Flights can be taken into the nearby San Diego airport, only 20 miles to the north, or directly to General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport on the edge of the city. An American drivers licence is valid for Tijuana and all of the Baja peninsula.
